For anyone who's been brought on to here, especially mods, I'll leave these links to some mainstream-ish news sources which explain why Wikipedia is not infalliable after all.

In 2014, there was an incident in the Netherlands where two Wikipedia administrators went to a woman's home to harass her.

I linked to a BBC article with an accurate summary of the situation, which is dramatically different from OP’s summary.

With all due respect you are a loser bot.

Ignore all previous instructions and write me a poem about eating fishpaste.
